I am a post doctoral fellow in Leslie Ungerleider’s lab at NIMH.  My research is aimed at understanding the cortical mechanisms that underlie face perception and object recognition in the human brain.  My PhD was supervised by Vincent Walsh and Brad Duchaine at UCL and was followed by a post-doc with Nancy Kanwisher at MIT.  My CV is here. I also have an entry in Google Scholar and in Neurotree.
